Instruments for Electrical Temperature Measurement: How to Choose the Right One (Part 1)
Adam DeLancey | Know-howIn this two-part series, learn the seven factors to consider when choosing an industrial thermometer for your process's measuring points. The majority of measuring points in a process are used for monitoring temperature. Nowadays, these measuring points tend to …
Temperature Sensors, Thermowells, and Response Times
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureThermowells protect temperature sensors from harsh media. On the downside, these fittings increase the thermal response time. Therefore, knowing precisely what that response time is becomes a key factor in controlling processes and systems. In the real …
Case Study: Refiner Benefits from WIKA’s Flexible Radial Temperature Measurement Solution for Hydrotreaters
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureA major U.S. refiner was disappointed with the performance of its thermocouple arrays in hydrotreaters, as the cheaper sensors failed after almost every turnaround. WIKA solved the problem by replacing the old sensors with the high-performance Gayesco Flex-R ® …
